i've never heard of anyone eating ostriches
 but i suppose someone hearing of someone eating a dog or something, it strikes us as cruel because people keep those as pets. i suppose those who keep cows as pets (and don't eat them) see eating cows as cruel as well. |

The reason why animals are treated differently is mainly because of the way they look. Humans are more likely to be nicer to a mammal animal (horse, cat, dog) rather than an insect. Or anything that isn't cute and furry. That's why...I don't think it's cruel to eat Ostrich meat. It's just weird because I guess I am so used to cows being eaten. I do remember my Dad's friend brought over some Ostrich jerky over one time. I didn't eat it because 1) I am picky and 2) Eww. That doesn't sound good.

It's not cruel to eat ostrich meat because they aren't "cute and fuzzy"?
